The Waldorf Hilton has completed its £13.5 million hotel-wide renovation.
Situated on the verdant, tree-lined thoroughfare of Aldwych, The Waldorf Hilton opened in 1908 and is a Grade II listed building.
Completed in phases, the hotel-wide renovation encompassed all 298 guestrooms, seven meeting rooms and event spaces, including the Palm Court, Good Godfrey’s Bar, Adelphi Suite and Executive Boardroom, with refreshed interiors complementing the grandeur of the hotel’s striking architecture.
For the guest rooms, interior designers Fox Linton Associates drew inspiration from the glamour of the 1920s. Pastel colours feature prominently, while the bathrooms have been designed with a monochrome palette of white ceramic tiles, black trim and nickel fittings also reflecting the 1920s era.
The Adelphi Suite function space has been given a new ‘champagne elegance’ colour palette and now boasts stunning bespoke chandeliers with 1920s flute glass shades.
Originally the gentlemen’s smoking room and bar of the hotel, the listed Executive Boardroom has been restored and converted to a classical boardroom.
Meanwhile, the restored Palm Court is the stage for a monthly Afternoon Tea Dance, complete with contemporary afternoon tea and traditional ballroom music, as well as a monthly Tango Supper, hosted by professional Argentine tango dancers Leonardo Acosta and Tracey Tyack-King.
Good Godfrey’s Bar and Lounge opened its doors in 2011 but now features a new interior design complete with large antiqued mirrors and a bar with illuminated marble, chrome and granite elements.
Commenting on the revamp, Alison Palin, general manager, The Waldorf Hilton, London said: “Every element of this landmark refurbishment has been taken into careful consideration. The attention to detail to ensure that the feel and grandeur of the 1920s remains instilled in the iconic hotel has been top priority – it first opened its doors in 1908 and, although times have changed, the style and elegance of days gone by has remained for guests to enjoy.
“The Waldorf Hilton has been a stalwart fixture of the West End, providing guests with superb service and elegance, for 107 years. This renovation will ensure that it continues to do so, in true Edwardian style, for many years to come.”
